Officials from at least three state agencies are working to avoid steep reductions in Oklahoma high school graduation rates next year after federal compliance auditors raised red flags. In recent audits, the U.S.
Department of Education raised the issue of how Oklahoma is calculating its adjusted cohort graduation rate, or ACGR, because it has been including students who earn a high school diploma through what the state calls the Core Curriculum pathway, as opposed to the more common College Preparatory/Work Ready pathway. The state director of Oklahoma CareerTech told the Tulsa World he spent much of Wednesday receiving phone calls from school administrators from across the state who were distressed by a memo sent to them this week by the Oklahoma State Department of Education. The memo warns of the possibility of significant reductions in graduation rates in 2025 for high schools with many students graduating under that Core Curriculum pathway.
